1 real f-stop, and 2 fake ones, does not a $4,500 increase in cost, nor a
sale,
make. You are more than welcome to be first in line to buy one. I'll just
watch
and laugh if you don't mind. I'll gladly give up that extremely meager
increase
in favor of the extra capabilities not even in that camera, which I
already
bought over 6 years ago. Put it in perspective. You're being taken for an
ultimate fool. That must be the new marketing campaign. "Let's see just
what
they are willing to bend over and take, and even be happy about paying for
the
royal reaming we're going to give them." While they laugh all the way to
the
bank at the expense of turning you into an even bigger fool than last
year.
That's *exactly* what it boils down to.
